Shopping for a laptop - what exactly is the difference between a Core Duo and a Core Solo processor? What should I be looking at to know how each compares to each other on the computational front?
I'm pretty much looking for a workhorse laptop able to handle most anything I can throw at it on a work basis - which means video editing stuff and also be able to handle Civ4 (which I just have to install on every computer I have ^_^)
I'm looking at a laptop with a Core Solo 1.86 Ghz and another one with Core Duo 1.66 Ghz. I'm leaning on the Core Duo model since it has a DVD writer but I'll throw that over computing power.
Thanks and hope you guys can help.
Edit: added a few details
